Chapter 400: Charge Out

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qi Haoran carried the spy alone and made a few gestures at the subordinates behind him. The men behind him then hid behind the forest in groups of three. Qi Haoran bit the spy’s ear and said, “You’re not the only spy by my big brother’s side who tricked him into coming here, right? Let me guess how high his rank is. Is he a company commander, battalion commander, or an assistant commander under my big brother?”

The spy’s body stiffened imperceptibly. The viciousness in Qi Haoran’s eyes intensified as he smiled cruelly. “So it’s the assistant commander…”

The spy suddenly struggled violently and whimpered in an attempt to attract the attention of his companions. However, Qi Haoran did not stop him at all. As he carried him and ran up the mountain, he said with a smile, “Who is that person? Did he come with you this time? Is he a spy from your Jin Kingdom or a partner you found?”

The spy’s mouth was gagged, so it was impossible for him to answer. Qi Haoran didn’t need him to answer. They had already attracted the attention of the Jin soldiers who were searching for them. Standing on a rock, Qi Haoran looked down at the Jin soldiers below. He raised his voice and said, “Hey, listen up. Your guy is in our hands. Doesn’t your Jin Kingdom not give up on every warrior? Now, I’ll use him to exchange for a path.”

Hahahaha…” A stalwart Jin Kingdom general strode out and looked at Qi Haoran mockingly. “As expected, the Han people like to daydream. The warriors of the Jin Kingdom are never afraid of sacrifice. Today, I must capture the Qi brothers. Shoot!”

A row of archers stepped forward, aimed in Qi Haoran’s direction, and shot. Qi Haoran turned around and dodged. In a few leaps, he hid in the forest As he dodged, he shouted, “Quickly take my big brother away!”

There was a commotion behind a bush on the left and they ran up the mountain. When the Jin soldiers discovered them, they immediately shot arrows and chased after them. However, the three of them moved very quickly and always dodged when they were about to be shot.

The soldiers of the Jin Kingdom weren’t sure if Qi Xiuyuan was among them, but since they had the advantage of numbers, they still sent people to chase ’ after them.

On the other side, Qi Haoran put down the spy after leaping out. He touched his neck and asked, “See, no one cares whether you die or live. If you tell me who betrayed my big brother, I’ll spare your life and give you 15 minutes to escape How about that?”

The spy glared at Qi Haoran and remained silent.

“So you’re unwilling. Then forget it.” As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Haoran snapped his neck and threw him aside. He said to his subordinates who had followed him over one after another, “Spread out. Today, we’ll have a good game with them and teach them what a jungle battle is.”

Slightly excited, the 30 of them pulled out the daggers from their legs and split up in groups of three. Hence, the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom realized that their men had been silently killed when they were advancing to search.

It was clearly a team of people searching together, but they were oblivious when the people behind had their mouths covered and their necks slit open. By the time they realized that something was wrong and went back to search, they could only find their corpses.

The Jin Kingdom’s general was so angry that his hair was smoking. He roared, “Search with great fanfare. Speed up and surround them. Hurry!”

This way, there was no need to think about a carpet search. Everyone rushed towards the approximate location where Qi Haoran had appeared.

The sound of hurried footsteps quickly passed the cave where Mu Yangling and the others were hiding. Carrying Qi Xiuyuan on her back, Mu Yangling and Rong Xuan secretly used the cover of the trees to leave through the small gap that Qi Haoran had opened for them.

When she was out of their sight, Mu Yangling used her qinggong. With a light tap of her toes, she used the trees as a stepping stone to fly through the forest. Rong Xuan followed closely behind her.

The journey that was originally estimated to take an hour only took them 15 minutes.

Looking at the village chief in front of him, Rong Xuan almost cried. “Miss Mu let’s leave quickly!”

Mu Yangling nodded and used her qinggong to run towards the village. On the flat ground, Rong Xuan didn’t need her to lead the way, so he was faster than her and flew past her towards the village. By the time Mu Yangling carried Qi Xiuyuan to the village, Rong Xuan had already borrowed a donkey cart. Mu Yangling placed Qi Xiuyuan on the blanket that had been laid out on the cart and said to the village chief, who was rubbing his hands nervously “The Jin soldiers are in the forest. Tell the villagers to leave immediately to hide in the town or the county. Inform the nearby villages.”

Rong Xuan had already climbed onto the donkey cart and whipped the donkey Mu Yangling only had time to wave at the village chief. “Also, thank you for the donkey cart.”

When he borrowed the cart from the village chief, Rong Xuan had revealed his identity and said the same thing. At this moment, he was focused on Qi Xiuyuan. “Miss Mu, see how the general is doing.”

Mu Yangling went to feel Qi Xiuyuan’s pulse, but she couldn’t figure out his condition even after a long time. She only knew how to deal with ordinary external injuries and not internal injuries.

Hence, she could only exchange places with Rong Xuan. She would drive the cart and Rong Xuan would take care of Qi Xiuyuan.

The two of them drove the donkey cart at the fastest speed possible and finally arrived in town as soon as they could. They found a carriage dealer. As Rong Xuan didn’t have time to bargain, he simply chose the best one and threw down a bag of silver before attaching it to the donkey cart and leaving.

The carriage rushed into the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city could not stop it in time. When the soldiers saw that someone actually had the guts to break through the city gate, they dragged over their horses and were about to chase after them when an old soldier patted his head and said, “Who do you think you are stopping? Can’t you see that the person sitting in the carriage is our Military Advisor?”

“Giddy-up—” Mu Yangling looked at the dense crowd on the street and waved her whip as she shouted, “Make way, make way, make way!”

The people on the street cursed, but they still dodged, albeit at a slow speed Mu Yangling cursed, “Damn it, why are there so many people on the street today?”

“There’s a big gathering because it’s the 15th today.” Rong Xuan’s expression was also very ugly. He grabbed Qi Xiuyuan’s pulse and could sense that it was getting weaker and weaker. Looking at the people blocking in front of them, anger flashed across Rong Xuan’s eyes. He said fiercely, “Step over them!” Mu Yangling didn’t have the guts, so she turned around and picked Qi Xiuyuan up. She circulated her qinggong and flew up to the roof. Stepping against the roof, she flew quickly towards the General’s Mansion.

Rong Xuan was stunned. Then, he abandoned the horse and carriage and flew up to the roof, following closely behind her.

Her qinggong was even faster than a carriage. Not only was she fast, but there was no obstacles this way. Most importantly, she did not have to take a detour She aimed in the direction of the General’s Mansion and leaped her way over. Mu Yanghng seemed to have unleashed her greatest potential. She had never known that the internal energy she had cultivated for three years could support her to fly so high and so far…

Rong Xuan, who was following behind Mu Yangling, was terrified that she would accidentally drop Qi Xiuyuan.

When Mu Yangling leaped onto the roof of the magistrate’s house in the Jingzhao Prefecture and quickly crossed the roof of his house, landing in front of the General’s Mansion, Rong Xuan finally felt relieved. He landed from above and ignored the dumbfounded servants in front of him. After pushing open the door, he shouted, “Hurry up and invite Master Yuan Hui over!” Shocked by Mu Yangling, the servants immediately rushed into the residence. Mu Yangling had already carried Qi Xiuyuan and rushed to the backyard. Fan Zijin, Yuan Hui, and Li Jinghua, who had been quietly waiting for news in the central room, heard the commotion and rushed out. They bumped into Mu Yanghng, who was carrying Qi Xiuyuan. Li Jinghua’s eyes widened and her mouth fell open. However, Fan Zijin quickly went up to her. “What’s wrong with Eldest Cousin?”

“He’s poisoned. Master Yuan Hui, come and take a look.”

Mu Yangling hesitated for a moment before Rong Xuan said, “Put him in the side hall. Men, hurry up and prepare hot water, knives, and candles..”
